Book Reviews of Globalization and Militarism: Feminists Make the Link (Globalization)

Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars

Cynthia Enloe is one of the best feminist international relations scholars in North America. Once again she has written a much needed timely volume. Enloe's writing is engaging and never filled with too much academese, so that the lay audience and academics alike can enjoy her books.

This book deals with the connections between globalization and militarism. Each chapter sheds light on this insipid connection. The chapter I enjoyed most dealt with the consumer fascination of camo. Do you wear camo? How have we normalized camouflage and militarism by wearing camo pants to work/school? Is this "normal"?

Enloe asks the reader to be curious and ask questions. I have found that the lower division women's studies students really dig her work and this book has been no exception. I've also used excerpts of this book in one of my Political Science courses, and again, the students enjoyed the reading.
